Pakistan Super League, Season 9, got off to an amazing start for Islamabad United as they beat the reigning champions, Lahore Qalandars, by 8 wickets.
A brilliant partnership of 138 runs between Shadab Khan and Agha Salman helped the Red Hot Squad win the match comfortably.
Lahore’s Rassie van der Dussen played a knock of 71 runs from 41 balls, but his innings was jointly countered by Shadab and Salman’s heroics.
Qalandars had to go for a local talent, Salman Fayyaz, in the absence of ace leg-spinner Rashid Khan. The move didn’t bare fruit, as Khan’s middle-overs control wasn’t provided by Fayyaz.
Both teams lacked in the fielding department. On one hand, IU gave away a dozen runs through misfields, and on the other hand, LQ gifted Shadab two dropped catches, which were essential in Shadab’s innings.
